Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I got at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 60% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Books I have authored.

Many times I receive books for FREE to give them an honest review. I do not get paid to give a good or bad review. Spotlights are promotional and should be regarded as advertising for the book spotlighted. Regardless of where or how I got a book, my review will be as honest as I can make it.

Shameless Self Promotion


I Like To Whine by William G. Bentrim is now available for purchase at Blurb.
Personally, I probably whine too much but this is my book for kids on whining and it’s consequences. It is my first attempt at selling a book. I have books I give away at http://www.bentrim.info/ under free books. A long time desire to actually publish something is the motivating factor on putting I Like to Whine on Blurb. If nothing else check it out and let me know what you think. Of course, if you want to buy a copy, WHOOHOO!

The book has the right attitude. But, it is a little expensive for a childrens book. I rather like the color scheme.

Check your local bookstore for the approximate cost of a softcover and hardcover book and make it a little more comparable.

It is not shameless self promotion. It's good promotion!

I'll check out the book.

Jorge, thanks for the feedback.

Mighty Mouse, the problem with Blurb is that you are pretty much dependent on their pricing and policies. It was the cheapest venue for me to try and get something professionally done and out in the real world. If it gets any interest maybe I can find a way to print it and price it that will be more comparable to real publishers. Thanks as always for your faithful comments, it is nice to know that someone is consistently reading my blog.
